Guinness is good for you – Official
A Guide to the World’s Healthiest Booze
Scientists agree that drinking in moderation does the body good. But aside from red wine, actual medical professionals told us something surprising — the hard stuff isn’t so bad, either.
University of Wisconsin researchers found that a pint of Guinness Extra Stout was about as effective as low-dose aspirin in preventing dogs’ blood platelets from clotting — and reducing their risk of a heart attack. Don’t expect the benefit to carry over to your Bud Light, though: the researchers pointed to Guinness’ flavanoid antioxidants (which work as anti-inflammatories) as a possible reason for the difference. And they found that the darker beer was three times as likely as lighter beers to inhibit clotting.
